1 WHAT ARE THE SOURCES OF ENERGY ON COASTS? Rivers deliver sediment to the oceans. How are they distributed and how can the oceans cause erosion?

2 WHAT ARE THE SOURCES OF ENERGY ON COASTS? 1. Tides

3 WHAT ARE THE SOURCES OF ENERGY ON COASTS? 1. Tides 2.Waves

4 WHAT ARE THE SOURCES OF ENERGY ON COASTS? 1. Tides 2.Waves 3.Surges

5 WHAT ARE THE SOURCES OF ENERGY ON COASTS? 1. Tides 2.Waves 3.Surges 4.Tsunamis

6 WHAT ARE THE SOURCES OF ENERGY ON COASTS? 1. Tides* 2.Waves* 3.Surges 4.Tsunamis

7 How do Tides Work? N 363,104 km (225,622 mi) 406,696 km (252,622 mi)

8 How do Tides Work? N 363,104 km (225,622 mi) 406,696 km (252,622 mi) Earth Moon If Earth was not also revolving around the Sun, the moon would take 27.3 day complete a revolution. As the Earth is moving it actually takes 29.5 days.

9 Earth Moon N S Sun 5°

10 Earth covered in Oceans.

11 Moon Line of maximum gravitational pull

12 Ocean waters on this side pulled towards line.

13 Ocean waters on this side pulled towards line.

14 Ocean waters “shallower” than average. Low tide.

15 Ocean waters “deeper” than average. High tide.

36 Sun’s gravitational pull on the Earth. Weaker because of distance, despite large mass.

37 Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull in SAME direction.

38 Sun’s gravitational pull on the Earth. Weaker because of distance, despite large mass. Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull in SAME direction. Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull OPPOSED.

39 Sun’s gravitational pull on the Earth. Weaker because of distance, despite large mass. Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull in SAME direction. Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull OPPOSED. SAME

40 Sun’s gravitational pull on the Earth. Weaker because of distance, despite large mass. Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull in SAME direction. Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull OPPOSED. SAME OPPOSED

41 Sun’s gravitational pull on the Earth. Weaker because of distance, despite large mass. Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull in SAME direction. Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull OPPOSED. SAME OPPOSED

42 Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull in SAME direction. Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull OPPOSED. SAME OPPOSED Full Moon Entire lighted portion visible from Earth

43 Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull in SAME direction. Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull OPPOSED. SAME OPPOSED Half Moon Only half of lighted portion visible from Earth

44 Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull in SAME direction. Sun and Moon’s gravitational pull OPPOSED. SAME OPPOSED New Moon Lighted portion invisible from Earth
